160 kW and 520 Nm from the 2.5 turbo diesel, through a ZF eight-speed automatic - a proper torque-converter gearbox, not a dual clutch

550 mm wading depth and 220 mm ground clearance

✕ What we don't like
MG PUBLISHES NO FUEL CONSUMPTION FIGURE for the U9. The technical specification sheet gives power, torque and an 80-litre tank and stops there, so there is no manufacturer number to hold it to
At PKR 2.87 crore it is priced against established double cabs with far deeper dealer and parts networks in Pakistan
2,550 kg kerb weight means the running costs of a heavy vehicle whatever the consumption turns out to be
One variant only - no cheaper entry point into the range
MG's service network here, while growing, is smaller than Toyota's for a vehicle this type of buyer often works hard
MG U9 2026 overview
The MG U9 is a double-cab pickup and, at PKR 2.87 crore, the most expensive vehicle MG sells in Pakistan - well above the HS and ZS the brand is known for here.
It is a working truck with a luxury brief: 5,500 mm long on a 3,300 mm wheelbase, rated to tow 3,500 kg braked, 550 mm of wading depth and 220 mm of ground clearance, but fitted with a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and heated Nappa seats, JBL audio and twin 12.3-inch screens.
One variant is offered, the Explore PRO.

Engine and performance
A single engine: a 2.5-litre turbo diesel of 2,498 cc producing 160 kW and 520 Nm, driving all four wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic. Suspension is double wishbone at the front and multi-link independent at the rear - the independent rear is unusual in this class, where a live axle on leaf springs is still normal, and it is the reason the U9 rides as it does.
The tank holds 80 litres. MG publishes no consumption figure, so this site shows none.
